Noemie Completes Fox Family Olympic Selection Noemie Fox, the rising star of professional mogul skiing, has made history by becoming the third member of the Fox family to qualify for the Winter Olympics. Noemie joins her father, Philip Fox, and older brother, Mikael Fox, in representing Team Canada at the upcoming Beijing Games. Philip Fox won a silver medal in moguls at the 1988 Calgary Olympics, while Mikael Fox finished fourth in the same event at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Noemie, 20, has been a dominant force on the World Cup circuit this season, winning two gold medals and a bronze medal. She secured her Olympic berth with a top-three finish at the final World Cup event before the Games. “It’s a dream come true,” Noemie said. “I’ve grown up watching my dad and brother compete at the Olympics, and to be able to share this experience with them is incredible.” The Fox family is now the only family in history to have three members competing in the same Olympic moguls event. “It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication that our family has put in over the years,” Philip Fox said. “Noemie has come a long way, and I’m so proud of her for everything she’s accomplished.” Mikael Fox added, “It’s going to be an amazing experience to compete alongside my dad and sister at the Olympics. We’re all going to give it our best and hope to make Canada proud.” The Fox family is expected to be a major contender for medals in the moguls event at the Beijing Games. With Noemie’s impressive form and her father and brother’s Olympic experience, they have all the tools necessary to succeed on the world’s biggest stage.Noemie Fox has been officially confirmed as the last member of the Fox family to earn Olympic selection, named to compete in the kayak cross in Paris.Noemie Fox has been officially confirmed as the last member of the Fox family to earn Olympic selection, named to compete in the kayak cross in Paris. The 27-year-old will make her Olympic debut for Australia, joining her older sister Jessica who, with four medals including Tokyo gold to her name, has long stood in her way for Games selection. Their England-born father Richard is a former Australian coach who narrowly missed a kayak (K1) medal at the 1992 Olympics, finishing fourth. The pair’s mother Myriam Fox-Jerusalmi competed in two Olympics for France, claiming K1 bronze in Atlanta in 1996, and now coaches her daughters. The quota spot opened up with the kayak cross added to the Olympic program with Noemie winning silver at the global qualification event in Prague in June. Australia’s chef de mission Anna Meares said the youngest Fox had worked hard for her place. “I know how much this moment means to Noemie and the entire Fox family,” Meares said. “Noemie has earned her place on the Australian Olympic Team, with more than a decade on national slalom teams and countless hours on the water, in the gym, traveling, studying and honing her craft from Penrith to Paris.” Currently training in France with her family, Noemi was thrilled to make the official selection. “For so long the Olympics felt very unattainable as we only have one spot per category in our sport and well – the Greatest of All Time has been a bit of a barrier to entry,” she said of her sister Jessica. “I’m now the final piece of the puzzle joining my family of Olympians. “With an additional three global quotas available in the kayak cross for Paris 2024, I had a small opening to go to my first Olympic Games and chased the dream down hard no matter how slim and unsustainable it felt. “As an athlete these are the moments you dream about, crossing the line first and all your hard work paying off.” There are four Australians in the canoe/kayak slalom events with Tim Anderson and Tristan Carter the men’s representatives.Noemie Fox has been selected to join her parents and sisters on the Australian Olympic team after a brilliant display at the Gymnastics World Cup in Melbourne. The 18-year-old Fox was part of the Australian team that won silver in the women’s team event on Saturday, and she also finished fourth in the individual all-around competition. Fox’s selection means that she will join her parents, Aaron and Dianne, and her sisters, Larissa and Ashleigh, on the Australian Olympic team. The Fox family will be the first to have three generations of Olympians competing at the same Games. Noemie Fox said that she was “over the moon” to be selected for the Olympic team. “It’s such an honour to be able to represent my country at the Olympics, and it’s even more special to be able to do it with my family,” she said. Aaron Fox said that he was “incredibly proud” of his daughter. “Noemie has worked so hard for this, and she deserves all the success that she gets,” he said. Dianne Fox said that she was “overwhelmed with joy” at the news of her daughter’s selection. “It’s a dream come true for all of us,” she said. Larissa Fox said that she was “so excited” to be competing alongside her sister at the Olympics. “We’ve been working towards this for our whole lives, and it’s finally here,” she said. Ashleigh Fox said that she was “so proud” of her sister. “Noemie is an amazing gymnast, and she’s going to do great things at the Olympics,” she said. The Australian Olympic team will depart for Tokyo on July 17. The gymnastics competition will begin on July 24.
